Frugal Ways to Celebrate Earth Day 2012

Earth Day 2012 is April 22nd -- how will you embrace this Green Holiday? Okay, so maybe it is not a holiday, but assuming it were, how would you spend it? Here are five frugal ways that come to my mind:

Use your feet....avoid driving on Earth Day. Let your feet take you where you need to go. If it is too far try a bike, bus, or carpool;

Shop! Make a list of holiday and gift items you need over the next few months (even year if you are ambitious) and hit your favorite thrift store(s). Give items a second life, and reduce all that shopping down to one trip;
